The torch is being passed. Will you grab hold?

There is no greater return on investment than an educated, courageous woman, grounded in the liberal arts and Benedictine values, determined to change the world. The Illuminating Lives campaign is about just that: investing in young women who will make the world a better place.

Through this multi-year, $100,000,000 campaign — the largest of its kind in our college’s history — we will illuminate and transform the lives of future students through greater access to improved learning and a fuller Saint Ben’s experience.

This is the moment when we illuminate the next 100 years for the College of Saint Benedict and future generations of Saint Ben’s women. The torch beckons your hand.

Saint Ben’s Illuminates Lives

“The true value of a liberal arts education is hard to quantify, but it’s easier when you see it in real life. At Saint Ben’s, well-rounded women and responsible leaders are being developed every year as a result of the focus on the liberal arts in addition to pre-professional training.”
